Lyrics
Shield my eyes
Feeling the need to protect oneself emotionally or mentally
Cause all I have is emptiness inside
Experiencing a sense of inner emptiness and void
The sands of time
Symbolizing the continuous flow and impact of time
Are running out
Highlighting the limited time available
I’m feeling so confined
Feeling restricted or confined
The future’s not so clear
Uncertain about what lies ahead
With every moment passing
Each passing moment adds to the uncertainty
There’s nothing left to fear
Reaching a point where there is no more fear
Or so they say
Contrasting the fearlessness with a common belief
But I could fade away
Expressing the possibility of disappearing or losing oneself
Tomorrow never comes
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future
But that’s ok
Acceptance of the uncertainty and the absence of tomorrow
If I could seize the day
Expressing a desire to make the most of the present
I’ll hold you in my arms
Yearning to embrace a loved one before disappearing
And fade away
Implies a peaceful acceptance of fading away
Turn the glass
Symbolic act of turning an hourglass, representing time slipping away
Your future slips into my past
The future of the speaker becomes part of someone else's past
To waste the day
Stressing the importance of not wasting precious time
Is not an option I can take
Expressing a lack of choice in wasting time
The path is now so clear
Clarity in the current path of life
Make every moment lasting
Encouraging the idea of making every moment count
There’s nothing left to fear
Reiterating the absence of fear in the present
Or so you say
Contrasting personal fearlessness with a general statement
But I could fade away
Repeating the possibility of disappearing or losing oneself
Tomorrow never comes
Reiterating the uncertainty of tomorrow
But that’s ok
Accepting the absence of tomorrow as okay
If I could seize the day
Expressing a desire to make the most of the present moment
I’ll hold you in my arms
Yearning to embrace a loved one before disappearing, repeated
And fade away
Implies a peaceful acceptance of fading away, repeated
The future’s passed
Indicating that the future has already passed for the speaker
Passed me by
Feeling left behind by time
But all that’s real is now
Focusing on the tangible reality of the present
But I could fade away
Repeating the possibility of disappearing or losing oneself
Tomorrow never comes
Reiterating the uncertainty of tomorrow
But that’s ok
Accepting the absence of tomorrow as okay
If I could seize the day
Expressing a desire to make the most of the present moment
I’ll hold you in my arms
Yearning to embrace a loved one before disappearing, repeated
And fade away
Implies a peaceful acceptance of fading away, repeated
And fade away
Final repetition of the peaceful acceptance of fading away
And fade away
Concluding the repetition of accepting the fading away
